My Smartwool socks don't smell so bad - I think that's just your feet, Gershon.

Thorlos are synthetic or a blend of wool and synthetic.

What tends to smell really bad at the end of the day is my shirt... but unlike synthetics, wools washes out clean and doesn't smell the next time I put it on. All sweaty clothing items smell while they are sweaty...
